Corning Community College, 1 Academic Drive, will host Jamie Nabozny and screen his personal documentary “Bullied: A Student, A School, and a Case that Made History” from 11:50 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. Feb. 10.

Jamie Nabozny grew up in Ashland, Wisconsin, and was targeted in middle school for being gay. Years of harassment ended with a beating that put him in the hospital and required abdominal surgery. With the help of Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, he won a landmark lawsuit in federal court that establishes that all young people deserve a safe educational experience. Nabozny now travels the country and shares his story so that no child has to endure a similar situation.

The event is free and open to the public.
